Fund in Memory of
Robert C. De Filippis

I am Brugada Girl. My father fell victim to Brugada Syndrome at the age of 55. One day in May he sat down in a chair in his back yard after a long day at work, and never woke up again. Cardiac arrest was listed as cause of death. Post mortem, and after my own diagnosis of Brugada Syndrome, it is believed Brugada Syndrome claimed his life without warning. He was full of life, healthy, a father of 2, a holy man. With pep in his step and endless telling of jokes, he was a joy to be around. It was devastating to hear he was gone. We didn't know why, how and why there was no warning and no last goodbyes...

In honor and memory of my father Robert, I ask for people to PLEASE donate money to SADS to help further research of fatal heart arrhythmias that steal lives everyday. We need hope for a cure! We need knowledge and support! Ive made it a life mission to teach, learn and support the Brugada Syndrome community.My journey can be read at www.brugadagirl.com where I speak in detail about my fathers death, my diagnosis, surgery, recovery and life with BrS in general. Im also the mother of 6 children and 3 have the genetic mutation for BrS. It is my hope and prayer no one else meets the same fate as my father. Knowledge is power...please donate to SADS today!
